Thru the Cracks

I'm going back to the edge of the Earth Looking for an old friend I didn't know when we said goodbye That I wouldn't see you again I still see your smiling face In all the stars of outer space Here one moment, gone in a flash Yes, we all fall through the cracks The river shimmered like a sequin dress Bouncin' off your blue eyes You put it on, you started to dance 'Til you turned into the blue sky I still see it in the summers of my brain See it in the rainbows, see it in the rain Here one moment, gone in a flash Yes, we all fall through the cracks What is on the other side Sun palace in the sky A perfect paradise Another kind of life You know you had such a beautiful brain But no one understood you You only saw one way to escape But I wish you didn't have to But through the cracks, a light came shining Like the biggest, brightest diamond Through the cracks, where you dispersed And became a whole universe I still see it in the stillness of the breeze Sittin' on the stoop down on Elliot Street Here one moment, gone in a flash Yes, we all fall... Oh yeah, we all fall Oh yeah, we all fall... We all fall through the cracks La la la la la la la la... Through the cracks La la la la la la la la... Yeah we all fall La la la la la la la la... Fall through the cracks
